Questions & Answers about Respeto a los emprendedores con quienes compartimos esta innovación.
Why do we use quienes here instead of quien?
We use quienes because it refers back to los emprendedores (the entrepreneurs), which is plural. When a relative pronoun comes directly after a preposition like con and refers to people, you must use quien for one person or quienes for multiple people.
Could I just say con que instead of con quienes?
No, not when referring to people. After a preposition (like con, de, or a), you cannot use the simple que to refer to a person. You must use quien or quienes.
Why is there an a right after Respeto?
This is the personal a. In Spanish, when the direct object of a verb is a specific person or group of people, you must put the preposition a right before it. Since the entrepreneurs are people receiving the action of the verb respetar (to respect), we must say Respeto a los emprendedores.
Is compartimos in the present or past tense here?
Why do we use esta instead of este before innovación?
Nouns ending in -ción are almost always feminine in Spanish. Because innovación is feminine, it must be paired with the feminine word for this, which is esta.
